Christophe Guye Galerie
Dufourstrasse 31
8008 Zurich-District 8
.How to get there
When entering the Christophe Guye gallery one thing is immediately clear: this place exudes international flair. This is hardly surprising, since the gallery for contemporary photographic art has its roots in LA, where Christophe moved to after 14 years in the advertising industry in Switzerland.
In 2005, he decided to sell his successful agency in Zurich and make his hobby his profession. A good decision it turned out, for the acquisition by his former employer Young & Rubicam allowed Christophe to open his Photographic Art Gallery in the famous West Hollywood Design District of Los Angeles.
L.A. was the ideal starting point for his new calling. A cosmopolitan city in America, the main market for photographic art, with its pleasantly warm climate and an unbeatable lifestyle. He loved it. Even to this day, after deciding to return to Zurich for family reasons.
The international spirit that Christophe brings and his in-depth know how of the photo-art scene is a great asset to Zurich. The latter is valuable for institutional and private collectors, whose investments he frequently curates. He also greatly enjoys advising young art lovers the first steps in building a collection, starting with a small investment of a few hundred or a few thousand Swiss francs. Sharing the enthusiasm for outstanding photography is most fulfilling for Christophe.
Needless to say, I can only highly recommend a trip to his gallery on Dufourstrasse close to the new Sechseläutenplatz.
